Hon. Speaker, in fact, I am dismayed. It is very hurting that the other side of the House purports to be following the law and the Standing Orders yet this morning they contravened all those laws and orders by stopping you from coming into the Chamber. What kind of things are they speaking about? The way they are behaving is hooliganism and they are always disrupting this House. So, you really have no business listening to them.

Members must be left free to exercise their democratic rights.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support that Petition. The people of Balambala, which is in Garissa County, are suffering. The river has changed its course. It is over 50 years since we got Independence, but people from that area still lack water. We all know water is life. Sometimes, I really wonder why our area is marginalised. The attention of subsequent governments has never been there, including the county government now. Why do I say so? We have been hearing of massive scandals at the NYS. A lot of money has been misappropriated. The NYS has been in ...
